How do you disable the hot key for resetting a VMware Workstation virtual machine?
Solution 1:
If you are using Windows XP then go to the following path
C:\Document and Settings\your username\Application Data\VMware\preferences.ini
And then add the line and save it.
hint.vmui.reset = "true"
Now open VMware Console back up and go to Help>Hints>Show Enabled Hints.
If you are using the Windows 7 then I think this file must be in
C:\Users\username\AppData\VMware\prefrences.ini
And do the same for this too.. Hope this will help.
